Harry's P.O.V

We were so close I could feel the heat of her body warm mine, I could hear the soft whisper of her breath as she exhaled. She inched closer, and felt her hand encircle mine. I looked up at her, her soft brown eyes already locked on mine. She ran her fingertips up my forearm, leaving a trail of goosebumps blooming in their wake. She brought her hand up to cup my cheek, her thumb running along the curve of my cheekbone. She then leaned in, her lips parting slightly. I can tell she hesitated at first but she continued; her eyes flitting down to rest on mine. Our kiss was soft, Our lips moved in unison, the kiss was a kiss of affection, and deep passion. Igniting an electrical surge to course through my body awaking every cell.

She pulled back seconds later, resting her forehead on mine her eyes are still closed. She slowly brought her hand to my chest running her fingers along my torso, slowly. I knew she was overthinking what just happened.

"Mel," I whispered trying to gain her attention. Her eyes finally opened meeting mine once again.

"I want to take you somewhere,"

"Where?"

"It's a surprise."

Thirty minutes later we're parked on the beach. I wanted to take Melody to the beach to get her mind off of everything that's happened, not only from the last few days but from everything. The beach seemed like the ideal place because there was a beautiful view, and there was nobody here but us. It was quite cold out, I'm assuming is the reason why nobody was out here.

I can see she's confused on why were at the beach in this weather but she doesn't complain.

I get out of the car and instruct Melody to stay in the car. I quickly open my trunk, and climb in so I can put the last row of seats down. I then lay out a comforter on the surface before I get the snacks that I packed out and lay them in the middle of the cover: Chips, candy, drinks, and a single rose. Just The Way Are by Bruno Mars is softly playing in the background adding to the affect.

I check the time on my phone it reads 6:45. The sun should be setting soon, perfect.

"Hey Mel come here," I call out. She's wearing a pair of sweats with a sweatshirt. I advised her to wear something comfortable, which is why she changed from her jeans. I wear the same thing, sweats and a sweatshirt.

Her smile stretches from ear-to-ear when he sees what I set up causing me to smile too.

"You like it?" I question.

She nods, laughing a little.

The sun was setting on the horizon, painting the water with the reflection of brilliant pink and orange that spread across the sky. We sat inside the trunk of my car in the cooling breeze, tangled in a cover watching the seagulls walking along the shoreline. The sandcastles slowly dissolving, the waves washing away all signs of the children's efforts that day, as shadows creep over the land.
Listening to the sound of the water as the waves crest against the shore.

Me and Melody lay together closely. Not much by choice, just the limited space of my trunk. I'm not complaining though. Our arms are touching, and our pinkies occasionally rub over each Other. Enough contact to send a volt of electricity through me.

We've been here for an hour not really talking much, just enjoying the beautiful scenery that plays out in front of us.

Melody needed this, she needed an escape for a while. Just needed a breather from everything. She needed to clear and get her thoughts together. That was my goal for all of this, to help her relax and maybe get her mind off of everything. I hope it's working.
